More standardized logging for RSS feed import #1163

Closed boonebgorges closed 1 year ago

boonebgorges commented 1 year ago

Over the next few versions, I'd like to make some progress on improving the reliability of RSS import. As a starting place for this, I'd like to standardize the debug traces in the RSS import process. Currently, there's a series of pf_log() statements, but I don't fully understand many of them. Let's make them less opaque and more informative. We'll also log them to their own file, separate from the generic pf_log() file, so that users who may be having issues can enable logging just for this feature.

I did a bit of work to clarify the log statements. But the truth is that the complexity of the logging closely mirrors the complexity of the import process itself. So I think the time will be better spent on some of the improvements described in #1122, #1123.
